Our take on this /// Verdict

The Triumph Tiger 1200 GT, particularly the GT Explorer variant, is a significant improvement over its predecessors and a strong contender in the adventure bike segment. With its powerful 1160cc triple engine producing 148hp and 96lb-ft of torque, this bike delivers exceptional performance and a smooth riding experience. The semi-active Showa suspension, combined with features like hill hold control, adaptive cornering lights, and a tire pressure monitoring system, make it a technologically advanced and comfortable ride. However, it still has some minor drawbacks, such as throttle roll-on snatchiness and earlier-than-expected peg scraping in tight corners. Despite these, the bikes overall package, including its narrower profile and more compact mass, makes it a joy to ride both on paved roads and off-road terrain. Its a solid choice for those seeking a balance between touring comfort and adventure capabilities.

Price

In India, the Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Explorer is priced competitively within the premium adventure bike segment.

Latest Updates

Friday, 16 February 2024 11:43 AM Triumph has unveiled several updates for the Tiger 1200 GT family for 2024, including refinements to the 1160cc T-Plane triple engine for a smoother and more precise low rev torque delivery. The engine changes, along with an updated clutch design, enhance low-speed control and overall riding comfort. Additionally, the GT Pro and GT Explorer models now have increased cornering ground clearance and a new Active Preload Reduction feature that lowers the seat height by up to 20mm. I believe these updates will significantly improve the riding experience, especially for long-distance touring.

Friday, 16 February 2024 07:26 AM The 2024 Triumph Tiger 1200 GT family has seen enhancements in ergonomics and comfort, including dampened handlebars and risers, and a re-designed rider seat with a flatter profile. These changes aim to reduce fatigue on longer trips. The accessory low seat option now reduces the seat height further, making it more comfortable for a wider range of riders. I think these ergonomic improvements will make the Tiger 1200 even more appealing to adventure riders.

Monday, 12 February 2024 05:52 PM The 2021 launch of the latest generation Tiger 1200 marked a significant transformation in capability and performance for Triumphs adventure motorcycle line. The Tiger 1200 GT Explorer, with its 30-liter tank, has been a favorite among long-distance riders, even being used by Enduro World Champion Ivan Cervantes to set a Guinness World Record. I think the combination of a large fuel tank and advanced technology makes this bike a top choice for serious adventurers.

Monday, 12 February 2024 07:47 AM The Tiger 1200 GT family now includes new color options for 2024, such as Carnival Red for the GT Pro and GT Explorer, and Matt Sandstorm for the Rally Pro and Rally Explorer. These new colors add a stylish touch to the already refined and capable adventure bikes. I believe the new color schemes will attract more buyers looking for both performance and aesthetics.

Mileage

Monday, 18 November 2024 03:48 PM The mileage of the Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Explorer in India can vary based on riding conditions and style. On average, you can expect around 15-20 kml in mixed riding conditions, which is respectable given the bikes power and weight. On long highway stretches, the mileage can improve to around 20-25 kml, thanks to the efficient engine and the 30-litre fuel tank on the GT Explorer, which allows for longer intervals between fuel stops.
